Re: Carrie Underwood

Put him in, coach. He's ready to play. That's what I keep thinking now that I know John Fogerty is going to be performing with Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley on the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday night (April 18). I don't know exactly what they're going to sing together, just that the legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will be joining country's finest for what will be a showstopper. So maybe a medley of his solo hits (like "Centerfield" and "The Old Man Down the Road") and/or some stuff from his Creedence Clearwater Revival days -- like "Proud Mary," "Green River," "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," "Bad Moon Rising" and "Travelin' Band"? Whatever they do, I know it'll sound cool to have his gravely voice in the mix with all those other signature country voices.

Re: Carrie Underwood

For those that aren't aware, Carrie has a song on Play On called Change. It's all about helping those in need (this is going to be sung on Idol Gives Back), but the first line questions folks about what are they going to do with the 36cents stuck to their floor board while someone else need assistance. So, in that vein, Carrie announced that for the next stage of her tour, she will be donating 36 cents from every ticket sold to charity in support of Save the Children’s United States Programs.

Re: Carrie Underwood

Here is a bit of info on the Triple Crown Award that Carrie won on the ACM Awards show last Sunday. And a bit of background on her association with Jonathan Arndt Galleries. Turns out that they weren't pink rhinestones afterall.

Driven by passion and inspiration, Johnathon Arndt and Newman Arndt traveled the world to realize their vision. The Founders sought the finest jewels the world had to offer. Johnathon and Newman's consuming love affair with jewels is expressed in the perfection with their designs.

Johnathon Arndt Gallery of Jewels has been jewelling events including The Oscars, The GRAMMYs, The Academy of Country Music Awards, and The Country Music Awards for the last decade.

Johnathon Arndt Gallery of Jewels is an "Invitation Only" Gallery and hosts six locations worldwide, specializing in loose diamonds 10 carats and above with "The Master Piece Collection" featuring pricing from 1 million to 280 million U.S. Dollars.

This year, Johnathon Arndt Gallery of Jewels was honored that Carrie Underwood received the Triple Crown Ruby and Diamond Award, designed by Johnathon Arndt. The Award details are as follows: 13.38 ct. of Rubies and 3.20 ct. of Diamonds. Carrie Underwood also won "Entertainer of the Year" making history with the ACM Awards on CBS.

In addition Carrie Underwood wore Johnathon Arndt Jewels, on the Orange Carpet and on the ACM Award Show. This is not the first time Underwood has unveiled a breathtaking collection of jewels by Johnathon Arndt. The Founders have been working with Carrie Underwood for several years, as her beauty, style and elegance are a perfect match for the Johnathon Arndt brand.

Having seen the beauty and perfection that the world has to offer, The Arndt couple is as equally passionate about improving the lives of those around them. As entrepreneurs and philanthropists, Johnathon and Newman Arndt have committed their resources to helping non-profit organizations and charitable foundations that champion causes close to their heart. Over the years, the Founders have worked with a number of International and National non-profit organizations to raise awareness and funds for children and the elderly.
